Never heard of him, would've known about it if not for his repeated cameo mention here and in a review I read this morning. The performance was totally forgetful otherwise. Amazed that with only 12 episodes left HBO wasted screen time with a cameo of some pop star (or is he a Twitter star, or possibly a YouTube v-blogger?)

Well he only had a couple minutes of screen time and was singing. I'm sure he's a huge fan and wanted to be on. He's big enough for the studio to say yes. He's probably the biggest musical star in England, atm.

The Reach is aligned with Daenerys. Ed Shereen and the rest of the boy band Lannister soldiers said they were on their way to the Riverlands after what happened with the Freys so the seven kingdoms nominally controls the Riverlands.

With the House Frey wipeout, that would presumably at some point put Edmure Tully back in charge of the Riverlands. Either way, I don't really think there is any army there willing to fight with House Lannister and as overextended as they will quickly be they can't exactly use the Lannister army to impose their will on whatever Tully army there is left.

I want one of the GoT off-shoots that HBO is planning to be all about Lady Mormont. Either pick up right where GoT leaves off with the same actress as a girl. Or wait about 10 years, using the same actress just as she's become an adult.

I have a couple Sheeran albums but didn't recognize him, and I'd even remarked "Nice singing" just before. I also recently saw Bridget Jones' Baby, in which he makes a cameo and the joke is that people don't recognize him.

Maybe this was mentioned in the pre-season chatter, but I try to avoid that as much as possible:

Co-showrunner David Benioff previously explained of the cameo: “We knew that Maisie was a big fan of Ed Sheeran, and for years we’ve been trying to get him on the show so we can surprise Maisie. This year we finally did it.”
